High Performance Homes

High Performance

Aurora Builders is dedicated to building high performance homes by employing the latest advances in building science technology.

We understand that a home is not the sum of many parts, but rather an integrated network of systems which must function through a myriad of ever-changing conditions.

We understand that a home is not the sum of many parts, but rather an integrated network of systems which must function through a myriad of ever-changing conditions.

To build high performance homes, we must consider the health and safety of the occupants, the comfort and durability of the home, and the energy efficiency of the entire system. For this reason, Aurora employs best practices for understanding and addressing all aspects of the exterior building envelope, the functionality of the mechanical and electrical systems, the human activity within the home, and the environmental conditions outside the home.

We seal all penetrations through the exterior surfaces of the home, thereby forming a continuous air barrier to insure a tight building envelope.

We carefully insulate all exterior surfaces to create a thermal envelope that provides comfort during any change in climate. And we focus on providing a continuous drainage plane behind the exterior veneer to ensure a vapor barrier against water intrusion. Together, these standard procedures contribute to a healthy living environment and a durable exterior building envelope.

Finally, energy efficiency remains a priority in any high performance home. Aurora Builders is on the forefront of understanding the latest devices to deliver maximum efficiency at a reduced level of energy consumption.

Energy Efficient

Aurora Builders recognizes the importance of building energy efficient homes and the impact we can make on reducing the net operating cost of a home.
